Alnwick

Intermediate Walking Group

Intermediate Walking Group

Are you interested in walking and able to walk between 6 to 8 miles of medium difficulty – then this group is for you.

The intermediate walking group will meet every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. We normally do circular walks of approximately 6 - 8 miles, with a different starting point no more than an hour's drive from Alnwick. The walks will start at 10.00am and will last approximately 4 hours. Walks will normally include a lunch stop so you will need to bring appropriate provisions. Dogs will be permitted on the walks but it is the responsibility of owners to ensure adequate control at all times.

A draft walk programme has been developed covering both coastal and inland, however if anyone has a favourite walk or would like to lead a walk the programme can be amended. Further details will be circulated prior to each walk covering distance, terrain, altitude, etc.
